Filter by:ICARUS is an interventional single-centre hospital-based cohort study in patients admitted to the stroke unit with an acute ischemic stroke. The aims of the study are to i) define the characteristics and determinants of microglial activation after human stroke, and ii) assess the correlation of microglial activation with circulating inflammatory markers, structural brain changes on neuroimaging, and neurological outcomes. ICARUS involves serial TSPO-PET imaging along with serial MRI, immune cell profiling in blood, and both clinical and laboratory assessments in 36 patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a cortical (N=18) or strictly subcortical (N=18) infarct. In a substudy, the investigators will include 10 independently recruited patients with acute ischemic stroke to assess MRI arterial spin labelling (ASL) sequences as a marker for perfusion measurement of the TSPO tracer.
Phase II, prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, pilot clinical trial comparing remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) plus standard medical therapy to standard medical therapy alone, in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 9 hours of stroke onset that are not eligible to recanalization therapies.
In this trial, The investigators are going to investigate the improvement of neurological functions and infarced area of the brain in ischemic stroke patients after ingestion of omega 3 products that have high concentrations of DHA and EPA in comparison to control group. The study will assess the improvement by computerized calculation of the size of the infarcted area before and after the intervention and neurological assessment tools. The researchers will follow the scientific and ethical regulations prevent any harmful effect on recruited subjects.
Patients who have suffered a stroke are having an increased risk of having recurrent stroke in the future. This risk of stroke is increased by atrial fibrillation, which often "comes and goes" (called paroxysmal) and hence escapes routine diagnostics. The hypothesis of Find-AF 2 is that enhanced (evaluation in a ECG core lab), prolonged (at least 7 days of rhythm monitoring annually) and intensified (continuous rhythm monitoring in high risk patients) not only finds atrial fibrillation more often, but that changes in therapeutic management (e. g. start of anticoagulation after detection of atrial fibrillation) results in a decrease of cardioembolism (which can be either recurrent stroke or systemic embolism). To prove this hypothesis, patients will be randomised into two groups: the first group will receive the currently available standard care for patients with stroke. In the second group, cardiac rhythm monitoring adapted to the risk of the occurrence of atrial fibrillation is performed - either with a 7-day long-term ECG (at baseline, after 3 and 12 months and every 12 months thereafter) or with continuous monitoring using an implantable cardiac monitor. If atrial fibrillation is detected, this information will be given to the treating study physician. Any therapeutic decision is at the discretion of the treating physician, but should follow current guidelines.
An open-label, prospective, observational, multicenter study. The study enrolls adult outpatients with CCI from 8 federal districts of the Russian Federation.
A pilot trial for assessing early microvascular alterations after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage using dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT. The primary endpoint will be the measure of early changes in cerebral glucose uptake reflecting microperfusion.
This study is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, registry study, designed to to documents that EmboTrap II usage as a thrombectomy device for emergency large vessel occlusion (ELVO) in terms of the rate of First Pass Recanalization (FPR). Patients with ELVO will initially underwent mechanical thrombectomy usig EmboTrap II. FPR is defined as modified Tissue Thrombolysis In Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) 2b or 3
Stroke is one of the leading causes death and major functional disability worldwide. Treatment options for acute stroke are limited with many patients having residual neurologic impairment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elezanumab and assess change in neurologic function in participants following an acute ischemic stroke. Elezanumab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. This 52-week study is "double-blinded', which means that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given elezanumab and who will be given placebo (does not contain treatment drug). Participants will be assigned to one of two groups, called treatment arms. Participants in one arm will receive elezanumab and participants in the other arm will receive placebo. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Approximately 120 subjects will be enrolled in 45 sites worldwide. Participants will be randomized to elezanumab or placebo by intravenous (IV) infusion within 24 hours of "last known normal" (time when the participant was last known to be without signs and symptoms of the current stroke) and every 4 weeks thereafter for 48 weeks for a total of 13 doses. There may be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of elezanumab will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, evaluation of side effects, and completion of questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works on top of antiplatelet therapy in patients following a recent non cardioembolic ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot that has not formed in the heart travelled to the brain. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor.
The present study is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, prospective study that tests the efficacy of intravenous milrinone to optimize cerebral hemodynamic and prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) during the high-risk period (day 4- day 14) in patients with severe subarachnoid hemorrhage due to intracranial aneurysm rupture (SAHa) (WFNS IV-V). The main objective is to evaluate, in comatose patients and / or sedated on D3 following a severe SAHa (WFNS IV -V), the effect of 10 days of milrinone versus placebo, in addition to the usual management, on the volume of DCI lesions measured on CT scan at 1 month.
